The 2017–20 ICC Women's Championship[1] is the second edition of the ICC Women's Championship, a Women's One Day International cricket (WODI) competition currently being contested by eight teams, to determine qualification for the 2021 Women's Cricket World Cup.[2] The top three teams, along with hosts New Zealand, will qualify for the World Cup.[3]

In the previous tournament, the first three WODIs counted towards qualification. However, for this tournament, the International Cricket Council (ICC) requested that additional matches are played as Women's Twenty20 Internationals (WT20Is).[2] Inline with the updated ICC rules, two balls were used for the first time in WODI matches.[4]

The first set of fixtures were announced by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), with Pakistan playing New Zealand in the United Arab Emirates in October 2017.[5] The first round of fixtures to be played were between the West Indies and Sri Lanka, which started on 11 October 2017.[6] In the opening fixture of the championship, the West Indies beat Sri Lanka by 6 wickets.[7]
